Everyone present tensed up immediately, stepping forward as if they wished to take the punch for Brian.

Luke roared, "Dad!"

Keira furrowed her brows, her pupils contracting slightly, yet she didn't step forward. She had already seen that Brian managed to dodge the blow, evading most of the attack. He ensured that the part of his body that got hit would only cause a minor injury.

Brian was struck and fell out of the fighting ring, which was a loss. He clutched his abdomen and breathed heavily.

The people around him, including Holly and Vincent, couldn't help but step forward and surround Brian.

Holly asked, "Uncle Dawson, how are you?"

Brian chuckled, "I'll live."

He then looked around at the crowd. "Do you know where all these injuries on my body came from?"

The crowd was slightly stunned, shaking their heads.

Brian looked down. "Thirty years ago, when I was twenty, just like Luke, I went on a mission against a single person. He had stolen a large portion of Crera's technological secrets, so it was crucial we intercepted him. By then, he had fled to a foreign country. That country used the same tactic, claiming he had violated their laws and detained him, preventing me from bringing him back…"

Brian's gaze was downcast. "At that time, I took on ten men alone, using a method common in the Special Division, and eventually succeeded in bringing our man back."

As Brian spoke, a silence fell over everyone present.

He looked at them. "What does personal honor or shame mean in the face of justice?"
